Is there a record in the history books of Zhu Yuanzhang walking several miles of mountain roads with his armor on his back? - There is no such thing in the history books. There are in the memoirs. Yu Ben's memoirs contain many deeds of Zhu Yuanzhang that he saw and heard with his own eyes, because Yu Ben was the bodyguard cavalry around Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang's troops entered Huizhou, and Deng Yu reported the situation to him. Wu Guogong, learning of Deng Yu's political achievements, appreciated it and said that he wanted to go and see his highland military training. Deng Yu said: These days, cold wind and cold rain, it is better to go again when the sky is clear. Yuanzhang smiled: "Boyan, have you forgotten that the enemy will also attack when it rains?"
Deng Boyan said: Then, tomorrow morning, the lord will go to the tip of the shelving ship! YuanZhang nodded, and then asked: Are there any celebrities who are looking for this place? Deng Yu answered: Yes. Summoned together immediately. Deng Yu was trying to make arrangements, and YuanZhang asked: Who is it? Deng Yu answered: Mr. Tang Zhongshi and Mr. Yao Lian, as well as Mr. Zhu Sheng. Oh, Tang Zhongshi, could it be Mr. Baiyun? Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and remembered Mr. Baiyun that Tao An and Xia Yu had mentioned to him.
Deng Yu said: Exactly. Wu Guogong stood up from his seat and said to Deng Yu: This Weng Dacai wants to visit him personally. Boyan, you lead the way. Deng Boyan hurriedly ordered people to bring rain gear- oil clothes and rain baskets, and several guards followed. In the cold rain, Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to Huaitang Village to visit Mr. Tang Zhongshi, the mountain chief of Ziyang Academy. This Tang Zhongshi, whose real name was Tang Guifang, was a famous scholar in Huizhou, with profound knowledge and great fame.
At this time, he was already sixty years old, and he only taught apprentices in the township and did not ask about the world. On this day, cold rain was flying, and when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang, the leader of the rebel army in Jinling City, had come to visit, he had no choice but to go out to greet him and invite Zhu Yuanzhang into his home. As a result, there is the world-famous "Longxing Du pair"! ——How does this scene compare to Zhuge Kongming's "grand pair"? YuanZhang asked: The world is in chaos, the four sides have been fighting for many years, most of the people of Li are unemployed and displaced, and everyone is eager to hope that the world will be peaceful and the four seas will be peaceful. I know that this craving is stronger than the desire to be hungry. Mr. Baiyun said: Since your army entered Huizhou, the situation has improved somewhat.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: Deng Yuzhen guards this place, do the people have complaints? Tang Sheng was blunt: Quite resentful. Yuan Zhang: Deng Yu was responsible for defending the city, and the walls of Huizhou were badly damaged and had to be built by the people. Perhaps forced by the construction period, the result is to lose the people's hearts. He turned to Deng Yu and said: This matter is suspended. Deng Yu nodded. Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Tang Sheng: Erbo must have a deep understanding of the successes and failures of previous dynasties. Those ancient emperors, such as Han Gaozu, Han Guangwu Emperor, Tang Taizong, Song, yuan shizu, these ming emperors, why can they pacify the world and unify the mountains and rivers? Mr. Baiyun said: They don't have anything outstanding, they just don't like to kill people!
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. Tang Zhongshi went on to say: Your Excellency, who is wise and mighty, young and promising, can drive away the evil, does not try to kill civilians, saves the people from water and fire, and allows them to return to their homeland. This kind of merit has surpassed the previous generation! But he stopped and looked at the renegade king in front of him. YuanZhang motioned for him to continue. Tang Zhongshi gritted his teeth and thought to himself: Anyway, they have lived for sixty years, and they are afraid of death! So, I finished the next sentence: The people have indeed settled down, but they have not yet had a happy job. Yuanzhang nodded in agreement and said: "You are right. I have given very little to the people, but many to them.
However, these are all needed for war, and they must be! I really never took a single cent of it myself. The people are hard and lonely often think of it, so they always think of letting them rest and recuperate. I will not forget this. Zhu Yuanzhang said and stood up. He tilted his head back and sighed softly. Tang Zhongshi said: If it is true, then the blessing of all the people will be fulfilled! The people's life is just around the corner! Yuanzhang looked at him and said: If there is anything wrong with our army, please sir, please know everything and say everything! Mr. Baiyun nodded his head in thanks, and Yuanzhang gave him cloth and clothing, and after a few words of comfort, hoped that he would go out of the mountain to assist him.
Tang Zhongshi said: Old and sick, difficult to walk, may the old mountains and forests, I hope your excellency will be perfect. Yuanzhang smiled and said: He will calm the world day by day, and Mr. Wang will talk about the people's livelihood again. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang took Deng Yu and others and left Huaitang Village. Tomorrow, he will review the sharp training of the shelving ship in the cold rain! More than 150 years later, Zhu Houzhao, the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson's grandson, Emperor Mingwuzong Zhengde, ordered people to build a archway in Tang Zhongshi's hometown, named "Longxing Dufang", to commemorate the people's livelihood measures of his Emperor Gaozu and Tang Zhongshi, the mr. Baiyun. This archway still exists today.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, came out of Tang Zhongshi's house and said to Deng Yu: The tea in Mr. Baiyun's home is very fragrant. Deng Yu answered: The tea of Coats is extraordinary. Yuanzhang asked: What name? Deng Boyan said: I can't hear Mr. Baiyun's Huizhou accent, it seems to be called Xuelingqing. oh! Zhu Yuanzhang said: I wrote it down. In the future, you will buy me more of this snow ridge green. I like it. Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang and his party far away from Huaitang Village and disappearing into the cold rain and cold wind, Tang Zhongshi couldn't help but think of two people in his heart: one was called Liu Bei, and the other was called Zhao Kuangyin.
Tang Zhongshi thought: This person, called Zhu Yuanzhang, started from Jianghuai and possessed Jinling, and what he did was close to Liu Xian's master! Folk legend wu jiaguo, should it really be on him? As Zhu Yuanzhang walked, he said to Deng Yu: You said that there are still Mr. Yao Lian and Mr. Zhu Sheng, where is your home? Deng Yu said: Yao Lian, it is in the east of the city. And Zhu Sheng, lecturing at Shimen, was far away. Good. After lunch, arrange for Mr. Yao to come over. And Zhu Sheng, how far is the stone gate from the city? Zhu Yuanzhang asked. Deng Yu answered: Mr. Zhu, mr. Fenglin, is home in Huixi Village, Xiuning. This goes about fifty or sixty miles.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: Tomorrow, I will review the army. The day after tomorrow, you arranged that I personally go to the Stone Gate of Xiuning to meet Mr. Fenglin. The two generals who had been following around—Chang Yuchun and Yang Jing—finally spoke up. Chang Yuchun said: The Lord's courtesy to corporal Xian is enough to make my generation happy and convinced. However, the scribes here did not seem to have a good feeling for us. Yang Jing, in Zhu Yuanzhang's clique, up to this moment, was the most learned general--because he himself was a Confucian disciple, and later when he saw that the world was not good, he threw himself into the pen and became a soldier--he said: Lord, there are many famous confucians in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, most of whom are dissatisfied with the imperial court, but they dare not rebel against the imperial court, and they are waiting for the birth of the Ming King! This is the genius of the Lord!
